Thanks to IO9 and Raven Lunatick for turning me onto this! For fans of Futurama, the long wait for the second half of season 7 will finally be coming out this summer. And the buzz is pretty interesting, and promises to broach one of the saddest moments in the series. Yes, it seems that they hope to once again revisit the issue of Fry and Seymour – who’s relationship was cut tragically short when he was frozen. Good thing too, I don’t like how they ended that. You talk about a baller moment, and I aint talking basketball!

Other promises include a nod to the Planet of the Apes franchise, a Thing parody, Leela as a tentacle-monster (possibly a further mutation), a war with a Cobra-esque evil organization, and some more appearances from Robot Satan. And of course, we can all count on the return of our favorite characters and their trademark antics, which would include some smack-talk from Bender, some mild senility from the Professor, some incompetence and impoverished references from Zoidberg, and some limboing and thinly-veiled ganja jokes from Hermes.

Enjoy the preview and join me in counting the days!
